Wheelguns still have advantages. How ‘bout a Colt or S&W 1917 .45 ACP with full moon clips? Old fashioned but still effective.

“Wheelguns still have advantages. How ‘bout a Colt or S&W 1917 .45 ACP with full moon clips? Old fashioned but still effective.”

That is an idea that has worked well and it has a lot going for it but...
1. Even with moonclips reload is slower and requires more training. Look at any action pistol sport, the revolver scores are lower.
2. Moonclips are weird bulky things on your belt.
3. Revolvers seem simple but they are surprisingly precise instruments. I’m don’t know if they will “torture test” as well as a glock
